Zappa once said modern classical music was in trouble. His career was devoted to remedying that problem, and succeeded rather well. Genius is often an overused term, but not in reference to Zappa.

"Modern Classical" music is a bit of an oxymoron. Music can't really become truly classical without the passage of time - and then it is no longer modern.

Zappa was an example of the next stage of evolution, like Jobs. It gives me hope.

excellent job. FZ passed away 30 years ago but his music will always be here for us to enjoy.

Bravo, Maestro! Your performance expresses the love and respect Frank Zappa deserves as the greatest composer of his era. Thank you.

The way I see it Marco, this should be a real dynamite show. Excellent! Bravo!

Uniquely classical just as the composer himself. Genius! Rest in peace Frank. The modern day composer refuses to die

With musicians like our great pianist here ,Zappa's music will never die out ,it will be played by the next generations like Mozart's or Stravinsky's compositions, well done bellissimo.

Oh my! Beautiful arrangements, sensational renditions. You have added so much to these compositions… thank you for sharing the goodness ❤

The way I see it this is the best way to start the day!

"Oh No I Don't Believe It" was beautiful.

It never ceases to amaze me how timeless his themes and music is. Still ahead of its time

It's going to be ahead of it's time - and ours - for a very long time.

Oh-no at 3:54 is one of the most beautiful piano pieces I have ever heard.

A bit of nostalgia for the old folks! Found myself singing along with these amazing compositions, well played.

Taking the piano to heights I'd never heard before...you are SO excellent, I love that you chose the genius of Zappa to share with us. Speaking of genius, you...

Absolutely enchanting, such a masterful pianistic reconfiguration of Frank's characteristic compositional idiosyncrasies! 👏👏👏 Triple bravo, maestro ✨💖✨

This is one of my favorite piano pieces...period! And since it's a composition by Frank Zappa, I truly hope it gets the recognition it deserves- right up there with Rachmaninoff, Debussy, et. al.

That's quality brilliant thanks man

Magnifique bravo !

He was, after all, a composer.

Witty, clever music played with wit and intelligence. Love it!

MOST AWSOME...

I came here for Oh No, enjoyed the rest of your Genius playing

Absolutely brilliant, Marco... Frank would have been all choked up seeing the superhuman effort you put into transposing it all for solo piano. Grazi, grazi!

I love piano arrangements of Zappa's tunes.

Marco, thank you so much for such a wonderful and brilliant interpretation of Zappa's music. I can't stop smiling.

Bravo, ottima interpretazione, ottima tecnica e grande rispetto dei brani.grazie, e' sempre bello ascoltare belle interpretazioni della musica di FZ da Partinico.

What a fantastic tribute to Frank Zappa! Very lovely to listen to. Thank you for your hard work. All it's missing is a special doily draped across your piano. ARF!

Medley consists of Let's make the water turn black, Harry you're a beast, the Orange County Lumber Truck, Oh No, orange county lumber truck reprise, and opening theme from lumpy gravy....

sick thank you. I haven't listened to lumpy gravy yet so I was wondering what that was.

​​@@oozzyknobif you get lumpy gravy, be sure to get the original 1968 mix, not the 80s remix...the original is easy to find on KZread... vinyl better than CD for sure...

​@@oozzyknobI was lucky enough to find a mint first edition copy on the black verve label for only $30 back in 1980. Still have it & it sounds great. PIPCO lives on...

Lo stile Zappiano predomina in qualsiasi sua interpretazione, sempre!!

Another evidence that Zappa's work is away from any boundaries. You have a trained classical pianist transcribing Zappa's themes to the piano and all the beauty and complexity of the arrangements are revealed. Congratulations on your work!

We're Only In it For the Money and Lumpy Gravy. This is excellent.

Great job made me happy wish I could do that!

Take a bow. This was beautiful.

Excellent!

WOW! This is pure gold, man.

When mixed every pot of paint or liquid in any garage or yard ends up turning black as every boy, soon learns. Excellent analogy of life.
